I know for the minor things that I do, 30 / 60 / 90 day evaluation 
licenses will work for the things that I want to test.

I'd love to spin up an OpenVMS VM to see if OpenVMS is susceptible to 
what I believe is the root cause behind CVE-2019-14899.  Specifically 
weak end-system vs end-system host model TCP/IP stacks.  A 30 day 
evaluation would work perfectly for this.  Heck, even a 14 day 
evaluation would work quite well.

I also hope that the hobbyist license ends up better than what I 
initially saw.  (I did ignore the rest of the massive threads and will 
re-address hobbyist licenses later.)
